The police are today investigating two fires, claimed by some to be surrounded by Tysterious features, which occurred yes- terday at the residence of Thomas Fitz- gerald, 41S 6th street. As stated in The Star, the chemical engine shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morning was called to the number mentioned, and extinguished a fire upstairs. Fire was discovered in the basement of the building last evening about 6 o'clock, and again it was necessary to call out the department. Chief Parris of the fire department gave it as his opinion that the fire was caused by an overheated pipe from the latrobe. The possibility that the fires were the work of an incendiary existed, however, and tkerefore the police are looking into the case. ——._—_. Counterfeit Money. Charles Thompson, allas Dick Hartsock, and Leroy Anderson, charged with passing counterfeit money, after a preliminary hearing, have been held for the action of the grand jury by United States Commis- sicner Mills.

SENATORIAL FIGHT The Contest to Take Place for Mr. Mitchell’s Seat. WHO WILL COME FROM OREGON Several Aspirants Getting Their Forces in Condition. MITCHELL MAY COME BACK Correspondence of the Evening Star. PORTLAND, Ore., November 17, 1896. Now that the presidential election is over and Oregon is enrolled among the McKin- ley states, where she rightfully belongs, in- terest certers in the coming contest before the legislature for United States Senator. John H. M‘tchell’s seratorial term expires in March next. He is a candidate for re- election, bat against him is arrayed a for- midable opposition. It is a question, how- ever, whether this opposition will prove strong enough to carry its erd, viz., the de- feat of Mitchell. Nevertheless, Mitchell's return, while very probable, is by no means a cerlainty. Who the opposition candidate will be has rot as yet been determined. Pennoyer had hopes at one time of concentrating those opposed to Mitckell’s return, but the result of the election has killed him off. In fact, it may safely be said that Sylvester ts dead politically. When he retires from the may- oralty, a year from June next, he will no dcubt be given a fitting burial. He has al-' ready had more than his share of political honor, having been twice elected governor ce excaurs and last June mayor of Port- jand. Before the late election Pennoyer went on record as saying he would resign the office of mayor if McKinley should be electeds but when called upon to fulfill this promise he declined, saying he had the interests of others to consult. However, no one expect- ed the old bluffer would make good his word, and, while disappointed, they were not surprised. Mr. Bourne's Aspirations. Jonathan Bourne, jr.,.is another who has senatorial aspirations, and one who will fight to the bitter end for the goal. It was Jonathan who conducted the Bryan cam- paign in Oregon. He did his work well, but there were tco many McKinley men in Multnomah county for him to win out. He, however, handled his forces well, and came to Portland with 3,000 votes to the good for Bryen The republican managers conceded him 2,000, and it was thought the fight in the Oregon metropolis would be a bitter one election day. The McKinleyites, Eowever, were prepared for every emer- gency, and despite the fact that the police fcrce had been Bryanized, the day passed without serious trouble, and the voting was regularly and systematically done. It is the opinion of all that the big Mc- Kinley demonstration in Portland the Sat- urday before election did more to make votes for the sound money standard bearer than all the speeches and other demonstra- tions of the campaign. There were fully 10,000 men in line, the parade taking an hour and a half to pass a given point. It was corfined to no one class of men, for employer walked beside employe, and onc shouted as loud as the other, and as often, too, for the man from Ohio. There were bankers, butchers, merchants and candle- stick makers, indiscriminately scattered through the moving mass of humanity. In one line marched Editor Scott of the Ore- gonian, Henry Failing, president of the First National Bank, the largest in the state; R. Khoeles, general manager of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, and Maj. McNeill, president of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. These gentle- as well as others, were offered car- riages, but they delined, preferring to go on foot, and show to their employes that they Possessed as much enthusiasm as they. It was truly a grand sight, and plainly showed to what extent the participators Mad been aroused. There was one other thing im- pressed many—that was the weather. All day it rained, and rained hard, but an hour or two before the time set for assembling the rain ceased, the sky cleared and the weather proved to be all that could be de- sired. It was a good omen, and convinced the superstitious that even the elements were working for McKinley’s election. This was further impressed upon them when election day opened clear and bright, though it had rained the day before and did rain the day after. The First Skirmish. The first skirmish in the coming sena- torial contest will be over the organization of the nineteenth legislative assembly. In the senate King Caucus will settle who will be presiding officer. Of the thirty members of the senate twenty-‘our are republicans, one-half being holdovers, and the remain- ing six equally divided between the demo- crats and populists. There are three can- dates in the field for the presidency. These are A. J. Johnson of Lime county, I. L. Patterson of Marion and Joe Simon, the po- litical boss of Multonomah county, who has twice presided over the sessions of the senate. In the house will be the réul struggle for organization. Five members are so far prominently spoken of for speaker. Among these is Jonathan Bowine, jr. Jonathan, it will be remembered, was elected last June as a Mitchell republican, and when the cam- paign opened was secretary of the republi- can state central committee. Subsequently he resigned this latter position to cast his fortunes with the Bryanites, and was plac- ed in charge of the Bryan campaign in Oregon. Out of the sixty representatives constl- tuting the house Bourne confidently ex- pects to secure the vote of every,democrat, populist and union bimetallic “member— twenty-one fn all. In addition to these, he claims that six republican members will support him in his ambition to become speaker. With the addition of his own vote this will bring him within three of the de- sired_goal. It is obvious, therefore, that Bourne's pian of campaign has not been to become speaker through republican votes, yet claiming, as he says, to be as good a re- publican as any in the party. His support of Bryan, he expects, will bring the solid vote of democrats and populists alike to him, and also several renegade republicans, While Bourne is serene in his claims, there are other members of the house who say that “Bourne ts counting his chickens before they are hatched,” and that they will break into his ranks with such effect as to render his election impossible. ‘There is not likely, from the present out- look, to be any caucus of the house mem- bers for organization. The several candi- dates for speaker will manage their indi- vidual campaigns, and, at this early stage of the fight, no one can claim much advan- tage over the other. It is, however, con- ceded that the speaker of the next ‘house will be a republican.

These men, whose votes Mr. Bourne claims as his own, will support a man for speaker who siood by McKinley and Amer- ican citizenship, and that is what I will bet on. There is no danger of republican rep- resentatives of the outside counties casting a vote for a man who, nominated by the republicans of Multnomah, turned traitor to them in accepting the populist nomina- tion, and then rubbed it in by becoming an active supporter of Bryan and the Chicago platform. If he has no safer ground to stand upon than what he expects from these six republicans he has mentioned, Mr. Bourne will fall considerably short in votes for the speakership.” An indication of the extent of the oppo- sition to Senator Mitchell's re-election is an open letter published in.the local papers a@ day or two ago from a member-elect of the legislature. He demands an,unequivo* cal statement from Mitchell as to his posi- tion with reference to the republican plat- form as adopted at St. Louis. Such a statement is looked for anxiously, but there are some who say it never will be made. In fact, Mitchell’s support of McKinley in the late cempaign was not as warm as.it might have been. His friendliness to the white metal is what caused this. There is unquestionably some antagonism to Mitchell among the bosses of the party. Joe Simon is supposed to be opposed to his return, and if he is the little fellow will do his work thoroughly. Then, again, the course of the Oregonian is a matter of conjecture. _ Editor Scott has always fought Mitchell, and at the time of his first election conducted a very bitter cam- paign against him. The last time there war no use of fighting, for the republican party was united, and Mitchell was re- elected with practically no opposition. This time it may be different. Ex-Senator Dolph, the iceberg,goes about the city, the ghost of his former self, living over the times when he was somebody politically. He would again be a Senator were such.a thing among. the possibilities, but, like Pennoyer, Dolph’s political career is at an end. ‘There is a rumor going the rounds, which has found its way into the papers, that Jonathan Bourne is to be forgiven all his sins and again be taken into the republi- can fold. -Dame Rumor gone even so far as to say he is to be reinstated as secretary of the state central committee. ‘This, however, is idle talk. Judge Owen Denny, the ex-minister to Corea, did his work too well for him to be turned down, now that the fight has been made and won. He BRYAN GETS TWELVE. All the Virginia Electors Given to the Democrats, The state electoral board of Virginia, which has been canvassing the election re- turns for the last three days, gave out figures Tuesday night, showing that the state went for Bryan by less than 20,000 Votes. and that one elector would go to Mc- .

There were men, women and boys there, and they engaged in a..service of song and praise until 1 o'clock,-when the dining room below was sought -by a lafge portion of the audience, and ahdther meeting began in the chapel, in accordance with the pro- gram for hourly’ services, to continue until 9 o'clock this evening. Six hundred dinners were to be served, the tables being arranged to accommodate elght-five persons at. one time, which will prolong the festivities of the banquet hall until this evening. The tables were pro- vided with manilla paper covers, each Plate being filled with a quantity of beans, doughnuts, meat and potatoes. There was plenty of bread, and each table held large dishes of apple butter. There was also a turkey sandwich at each plate. This set out will be repeated every hour until ail of the 000 invited to partake of dinner at the mission have been cared for. Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home. At the Soldiers and Saflors’ Temporary Home today a special bill of fare was pro- vided. The home, located at 305 Mizsouri avenue, was sought by a large number of veterans during the day.

KNOWN CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD William E. Mason, Alderman Mad- den and the Chicago Machine. MAY BE TWO CHOSEN Correspondence of the Evening Star. CHICAGO, November 24, 1896. The Illincis senatorship keeps the politics of the prairie state in a turmoil. The legislature which meets in January will choose a successor to John M. Palmer. It is overwhelmingly republican in both branzn- es and the caucus nomination will insure election. The candidates are numerous e1.d the contention is becoming a very oitter one. Whoever is chosen the scars are likely to remain and to be shown in future campaigns. The national administration that is soon to be has a delicate task in keeping from being drawn into the con- test. The course of opposing politics has for the last six years given Springfivld both Senators. When Senator Cullom was re- elected two years ago there was an implied understanding that if the republicans Lad the legislature when Senator Palmer's term expired his successor should be from the northern part of the state. By the northern part the Chicago politicians un- derstood Chicago. Those from the cut- lying counties did not so understand it. Moreover, they had a lively notion that the rival ambitions in Chicago might pre- vent any agreement on one man and in this contingency it might happen that the country members would end the bicker- ings by indicating a preference for an cut- sider. £0 it comes that the field is not Mmited to the big city. The Known Candidates. ‘The known candidates are ex-Congress- men Wm. E. Mason and George E. Adams, ex-Gov. John M. Hamilton and Alderman Martin B. Madden of Chicago; Congress- men Joseph G. Cannon, Robert R. Hitt and A. J. Hopkins, Clark E. Carr, ex- minister to Denmark, and W. J. Calhoun. Mr. Calhoun is a townsman of Represen- tative Cannon and his candidacy is condi- tional. The same might be said of Rep- resentative Hopkins, who is waiting de- velopments to see whether the Chicago machine, with which he has maintained friendly relations though it oppoze@ him for governor, will be able to agree on its man. The other men are in the fight re- gardless of contingencies. ‘The opposing factions at present are most clearly shown in the candidacies of Mason and Madden. When President Har- rison declined to appoint “‘Billy’’ Mason to the federal bench because his tempe:: ment was unsuited to the judiciary Mr. Mason announced that he would wipe out the stigma of being « joker by handing his name down to posterity as Senator Wm. E. Mason. He has been at it ever since, and has campaigned in every township in the state. He opposed Senator Cullom two years ago, and, when beaten, opened his canvass for the succession to Senator Palmer. Mr. Mason enjoys great personal popularity as a speaker, and is a general favorite with Illinois republicans. Many of the conven- tions, in nominating members of the legis- lature, indorsed him, while pledges were made by the nominees of conventions which passed no resolutions on the senatorship. Outside of Chicago he has more supporters than any two of the other candidates. In the city, however, he is weak. He also lacks the faculty of political organization, and it has usually been :he case that his forces melted away under the influence of more skillful politicians. This year he has a stronger backing of public sentiment. A newspaper ballot shows that he is the favorite, and his strength may hold to- gether better. Mr. Mason was a champion of McKinley's nomination, and was the author of the saying that “nobody was for McKinley except the people.” That say- ing had peculiar effect in Mlinois, where,| the people mowed down the leaders or bosses. 3 Madden’s Ambition. Alderman Morton B. Madden is a man of great native force. He is strong in munici- pal affairs, but is without experience in national politics. It is a dizzy Ieap up- ward from the Chicago common council to the United States Senate, yet Alderman Madden does not hesitate to attempt it. He is one of the cogs in the Chicago repub- can machine, which in its sphere is a more marvelous piece of political mecnan- ism than is Tammany. The combination was formed six years ago. With the ex- ception of Madden, its leaders have all gained the objects of their ambition. Wm. Larimer is in Congress, and is the most powerful factor in local politics. T. N. Jamieson is the Illinois member of the na- tional committee, and has recently been elected ‘to a lucrative office. Henry L. Hertz is state treasurer-elect, while other men who were in the original movement are filling the best places which are to be had. Mr. Madden alone is waiting to pluck the fruit which he has watched ripen and mature. It is an open question how hearty the disposition is of the machine to carry out the alderman's ambition. In a politicai sense the risk is great. The mugwump and reform elements in the city are bit- terly opposed to him. There is also pointed opposition within the party, which is fos- tered by the riva! candidates. If he is nominated by the republican caucus the probability is that the tension will be too great to be sustained,@&nd the loss of a republican mayor of. Chicago m the spririg will be almost inevitable. An opposition will grow up which may permanently divide the party, and which will be certain to embarrass Governor Tanner's state ad- ministration. Mr. Tanner owed his nomi- nation -to the Chicago machine. The in- fluence of his administration will be exerted to the election of its candidate for Senator, and this influence will be very great in the legislature. A hint has been thrown out that Tanner will antagonize Madden, but it finds few believers. The most he could do would be to remain passive, anc, whatever his other faults, Mr. Tanner is not the man to ignore His political obligations. He probably sees the danger incurred in press- ing Alderman Madden against the senti- ment of the independent republicans. Mr. Tanner himself ran 30,800 behind McKin- ley at a time when state and local fssues were almost lost sight of in the intensity of the national contest. Nevertheless, if the Chicago organization wills that it shall be Alderman Madden, Governor Tanner will stand by Madden. Madden May Withdraw. Some observant politicians believe that ultimately the Chicago leaders will per- suade Mr. Madden to withdraw his candi- @acy. It is easy for the boys who have had plum pudding to explain to a hungry companion that mort plums will be bad for their digestion, and ‘he must appease his hunger at some other time. Those who believe this kind of persuasion wil! tempted successfully with Mr. Madden are figuring on other candidates. Ex-Congress- man George E. Adams has and there would be little ing him. Hitt and Cannon. Congressman Hitt has publicly announced his candidacy. He is popular in his own district, especially with the able gentle- men who are anxious for a ghancc to go to themselves. His support does not gation can agree a candidate, and he looks forward to the members from the other parts of the state naming the man. He is 4 favorite in the eastern counties. Whatever happens the Chicago leaders are pretty apt to Mr. Cannon. W they were fighting the election of McKin- ley delegates to the national convention Mr. Cannon announced that the sentiment of his district was for the major and de- clined to oppose instructions. It appears strange almost on the eve of Maj. Mc- Kinley’s inauguration as President to have an-old fight of this kind brought up, but the state administration and the Chicago organization are not of a forgiving nature. A McKinley Senator Suggested. Some of the opponents of the Tanner Chicago machine are demanding the elec- tion of “a McKinley Senator.” They sey that the intention is to antagonize the na- tional administration in the beginning and this will be crfair to the republicans of Illinois. who have given overwhelming evi- Gences cf their confidence in Major Mc- Kinley. They don’t want to be put in the attitude of threatening the President. This argument is not without weight until it comes to a practical application. Then half a dozen gentlemen step forward cen- fidently, each announcing that he is the man for the emergency to take the sena- tership on behalf of the President-elect and in recognition of his services as one of the originals. Thereupon the trouble begins and the Chicago leaders and Gov. Tanner go placidly ahead with their plans. Doubt- less Major McKinley would be pleased to see some stanch friend chosen Senator from Tiitnois, yet he can hardly assume that an- tagonism to his administration is back of any candidacy. And herein lies the prac- tical difficulty for those who would make criginal McKinleyism a test. May Be Two Senatorships. It is rot lost to sight that Senator Cul- lom may go into the cabinet and thus leave two senatorships to fill. Many of Bis Illinois friends confidently believe that he will be either Secretary of the Interior or Postmgster General. His relations with the President-elect are cordial, and he would be a source of strength to the administration in the west. If he were to vacate his seat the choice of two Senators might be a basis for set- tlipg ail factional difficulties in Ilhil- nois. The Chicago organization would find means for putting in its own man while quieting public-sentiment in the selection of his colleague. The senatorial caucus, however, meets in January, while the cab- iret may not be made up till late in Feb- ruary. A tip from Major McKinley as early as January that there will be another Senator to choose is not probable. The senatorial contest in [llinois must there- fore be waged under present conditions and under the assumption that there is only one plum to be plucked. CONDENSED LOCALS —qr Articles incorpcrating the Experimental Mechanism, Company have been filed by Jemes A. Mahoney, Edward W. Anderson and L. G. Hine. The capital stock is placed at $1,000. Policeman Goss of the first precinct, who has been confined to his bed, is again on duty, much improved in health. The services of the pump doctor are badly needed by a leaky hydrant at the corner of 1st and D sireets southeast. Patrick Callahan, a jockey at the Ben- ning race track, while riding in a race late yesterday afternoon sustained a frac- tured collar bone because of the fail of his horse. He was taken to Providence Hos- pital for treatment in the ninth precinct patrol wagon. Bricks are missing from the pavement around eight tree boxes on D street be- tween 2d street and New Jersey avenue southeast, the result of the uprooting of trees during the storm several weeks ago. The pavement near the corner of 24 and C streets southeast is also broken. A hydrant at the corner of 8th street and Grant avenue is out of order. The fire plug on the south side of New York avenue between 4th and 5th streets is cut of order, it being imporsible to turn off the water. Thomas Shaughnessy, an old soldier from Hampton, Va., was taken to the Emergency Hespital last evening suffering with a sprain of the back and an abrasion of the right side. He claims that he was struck by a railroad locomotive near Cherry Hill, Va., yesterday, and was precipitated to the bottom of a ravine, a distance of sixty feet. There were twenty policemen off duty to- day because of sickness, and sixty-three were on leave. ——E— PARTIES OF THE FUTURE. Mr. Hornblower Believes That the Divisions Will Be as in the Past. The 113th anniversary of the evacuation of New Yerk by the British was celebrated by the New York State Society, Sons of the Revolution, in New York, last night. The principal speaker was Wm. B. Horn- blower, who responded to the toast ““Ameri- can Common Sense.” He said, in part: “What of the future? Suggestions are made that old party lines must be aban- doned, and that ali men who are in favor of sound currency and cf honest enforce- ment of public and private obligations and of the maintenance‘of law and order should combine in one party against the elements of discontent and disorder and dishonesty. Such a result would be most unfortunate. If the day shall ever come when all sober- minded men are on one side and a!l ex- tremists and revolutionists on the other side, lined up in party alignments, the knell cf republican institutions will have sounded. Our form of government cannot continue unless there are two great parties, who are divided upon questions on which men of sound judgment and honest prin- ciples can feirly differ. I believe that party lines will be reformed, based on the same general lines of division that have here- tofore separated the two great parties, and 1 believe that thus, and thus only, can our institutions be preserved.” “APENTA” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER. sottiea ate UJ HUNYADI - SPRINGS, Buda Pest, Hungary, Under the absolute control of the Royal Hungarian Cheuical Institute (Ministry of Agri- culture), Buda Pest. “We know of no Spring which “shows so great richness in Mineral Salts, or which combines such ad- vantages, as this water. “Professor Dr. RB.

Uniess the bolting faction of the Morton Cadets shows a sudden disposition to come to terms, it is quite likely that no fur- ther steps to compromise the situation will be made by Captain Shilling. The supporters of the latter say that at the earrest solicitation of the parents of the bolters and contrary to the wishes of the majority of the company Captain Shilling bas gone to extreme lengths in an endeavor to smooth over the difficulty, but, it is said, the seceding faction has stubbornly declined to meet him even half way. “I have endeavored in every way within to escape the reperter. my have been aroused and I have done all being could
